I made a list of about 15 cupcake recipes that I wanted to try for Cupcake Week, and spent quite a while narrowing them down. The selection process was extremely complex – read all the titles to my friend and keep the ones that he said “OOO” to! Hahaha, super hard, right? The one that I was most excited to try was this cupcake – after making a Kahlua cake for Rezzy’s 3-month birthday, I’ve been inspired to try more pastries with alcohol! For some odd reason, we have accumulated four bottles of rum in the liquor cabinet (two bottles of superior, one gold, and one 151)

This one was DELICIOUS. It wasn’t too sweet, and the lime gave it a really nice tang, and having mint in the cupcake was a really refreshing treat! I even liked the frosting – and I don’t like frosting! That and they are super cute =D

This recipe is adapted from Cream Puffs in Venice. I have changed the cupcake recipe a bit though, adding mint to the cupcakes and changing a few of the processes to infuse the cupcakes with more minty-lime flavor! Check out the recipe below the cut!
